Efficient Catalytic, Oxidative Lactonization for the Synthesis of Benzodioxepinones Using Thiazolium-Derived Carbene Catalysts
摘要:
An efficient, oxidative carbene-catalyzed lactonization reaction has been developed. Using thiazolium precatalysts, a variety of benzodioxepinone products are accessible in good to excellent yields under mild and operationally simple conditions The reaction does not require high dilution conditions and proceeds via mild and selective oxidation with azobenzene, which can easily be recovered and reused applying inexpensive FeCl3 as a formal terminal oxidant
The Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidative esterification of simple ketones via C-C bond cleavage has been developed. Varieties of common ketones, even inactive aryl long-chain alkyl ketones, are selectively converted into esters. The reaction tolerates a wide range of alcohols, including primary and secondary alcohols, chiral alcohols with retention of the configuration, electron-deficient phenols, as well
已经开发了通过 CC 键裂解的 Cu 催化的简单酮的有氧氧化酯化。各种常见的酮,甚至是惰性的芳基长链烷基酮,都被选择性地转化为酯。该反应耐受多种醇,包括伯醇和仲醇、保留构型的手性醇、缺电子酚以及各种天然醇。使用廉价的铜催化剂、广泛的基材范围以及中性和露天条件使该协议非常实用。(18)O 标记实验表明,在这种转化过程中发生了氧化作用。初步机制研究表明,该过程主要涉及两条新途径。
